I can tell you from almost going through a divirce back in 99 that this will NOT work - you will have to ante up 50% of the Fair Market Value of each gun, and more often than not, what your wife's attorney determines to be the Fair Market Value is about 150% of the reall fair market value.

BEFORE any action (including conversation) for divorce is taken, make them disappear. Take photos of EVERYTHING (other than the firearms) that you own so if she gets a restraining order against you that blocks you from your own home you will have documentation and proof of ownership of items that she may choose to sell behind your back.

If you end up leaving the "marital home" to live somewhere else during the process, take EVERYTHING you want with you. Bear in mind that you must leave her with proper accomodations (furniture) to live by, but even obtaining items alloted to you in a divorce decree is difficult.

One of my best friends and hunting partners just went through a divorce where personal possessions "disappeared" from his marital home after he moved out and trying to get back in to get things like clothes, hunting/camping gear was a NIGHTMARE and required surveillance and a commando style collection mission (whereas he had even hired a private security guy as a witness to what was taken).

After the court ordered divorce decree, there were still things that he found difficult (some were impossible) to find and retrieve.

This is really where the trust of someone you know would come in - have the storage put in your friends/family members name - not yours. This way there are all sorts of legal hurtles she'd have to go through to get into it (and a good lawyer WILL find it!).
